CAPE CORAL, Fla. — The School District of Lee County has released their new updated schedule after two storms ripped through Florida back to back. Southwest Florida was not spared.
Almost all the schools have now returned as of Monday except for a few that have had to relocate temporarily, like the Sanibel School. Students and staff will now have longer days ahead, as many of the early release days have been converted back to full days.
Starting Monday October 28, that will now be a full day. The next full day will be Monday February 24, followed by March 14, April 28, and May 29. On Thursday the 30th, the school year will be extended by two days. The two days will have early dismissal.
Monday, January 6, 2025 has already been added to the school calendar as a full day for students.
